Ok, this post is gonna be a little more serious than the usual fare here at The Database, to the point that I was actually kind of reluctant to write it, but this is something that's been nagging at me for a while now, so I decided to just get it off my chest.
You see, Bernie Sanders said that white people don't know what it's like to be poor...
...What?
Aside from the fact that, you know, there are still plenty of homeless white people in America, and aside from the fact that probably the majority of people, of all races, are poor in Appalachia, Mr. Sanders himself should know better. His parents were Jewish immigrants from Poland, and I have a feeling they weren't exactly living the high life.
Now, don't get me wrong. Out of the three main presidential candidates who are still running, Bernie Sanders is the only one who I think seems like he'd be a nice guy in real life, because even though I disagree with almost all of his political opinions, he at least seems sincere about them, unlike Trump or Clinton. But this was just too much.
So in conclusion Mr.Sanders, I know you've pretty much built your entire career on race-baiting, and you were probably stoned when you said this anyway, but I'd really appreciate it if you'd quit with the racist rhetoric. If you expect Donald Trump to do so, you really ought to practice what you preach.
